What's this?

I favor CNN, which has had several articles on the matter this week alone

If you're not a woman, you likely didn't see a lot of the advertising because that's where they focused their efforts, and if you have any female friends on Facebook, Twitter, etc. you likely would have heard about it from them by now.

There was a huge push here in central Virginia. Perhaps I'm more aware of it than most, as a close friend of mine's daughter was the face of the VA Ratify ERA campaign last year, but even top Dems in the state have indicated this is a top priority for them when the session starts January 9, 2020.
